Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.  ~Matthew 25:13~

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. ~1 Thessalonians 5:2~

So those were what that came into my mind when I didn’t finish my homework the 2nd time. HOD angrily told us he will not check our assignments anymore since we didn’t hand it in the first time they asked for it. So ignorantly, I took my own sweet time to complete the rest of the portion that were left.

One week went by and suddenly we were asked to hand in our assignments. This time all completed except few of us. Such a problematic student. I was ashamed. I knew this was going to happen but I brushed it off my mind. I knew I should complete it just in case ‘surprises’ do happen and yet I ignored it. Well, guess what… ‘surprises’ really did happen and I was still in the midst of completing the assignment. Got questioned by the lecturers and it seriously felt like the end of the world has come when I have to face God and be ashamed knowing very well I’m never prepared for the day to come.

I find reasons for myself, to defend myself, to comfort myself, but at the same time I knew very clearly I was wrong. God tell us to always be prepared for we do not know the time He will come. And when He comes, we should always be ready. There will not be any time nor chance nor relevance for reasoning. You know you are at wrong in the end. Why? Because there is no such thing as not enough time. In the end it’s just a matter of how you spend your time.

Same applies to a student. The teachers always say study everyday. We will always say we don’t have time when we have time for facebook and msn and all the nonsense in the world except to open the book and study. When the exam dates are announced, we cram everything into our small fist size brain and curse under our breath for not having started revising earlier. We always do things at the very last minute. Maybe I should say ME and not we. There are people who don’t behave this pathetically. :( *ashamed*

So just a note and another bits I learnt from Him over the past few weeks. Always be prepared, always be ready so that you do not need to regret or like me be labelled the ‘problematic’ student who didn’t complete her work.

Another resolution of the year ??? :/
